The population of a certain species of insect is given by a differentiable function P , where P(t) is the number of insects in t

he population, in millions, at time t , where t is measured in days. When the environmental conditions are right, the population increases with respect to time at a rate that is directly proportional to the population. Starting August 15, the conditions were favorable and the population began increasing. On August 20, five days later, there were an estimated 10 million insects and the population was increasing at a rate of 2 million insects per day. Which of the following is a differential equation that models this situation?
a. P=2(tâ5)+10
b. dP/dt=2/5t
c. dP/dt=1/5P
d. dP/dt=5P

Answer:

Option C, dP/dt=1/5P

Step-by-step explanation:

The change is population of insects is directly proportional to the rate of change of population

Hence,

\frac{dP}{dt} \alpha P

Or \frac{dP}{dt} = kP

where K is the proportional constant

We will find the value of k

Keeping the given values of rate of change of population and population in above equation, we get -

\frac{2}{10} = k\\k = \frac{1}{5}

Hence,

\frac{dP}{dt} = \frac{1}{5} P

Major league baseball team plays 162 game schedule so far graces favorite team won 11 games and lost 7 games if graces team wins
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Graces expect her Favorite team can win 99 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total games needs to be played  = 162

So far graces favorite team won 11 games and lost 7 games

Games Won = 11

Games lost = 7

Total games played till now  = Games Won + Games Lost = 11 +7 =18

Now we will find the winning percentage of the team.

Winning percentage can be calculated by dividing Games won with total games played till now and the multiplied with 100

Winning Percentage = \frac{11}{18}\times100=61.11\%

We need to find Total games team can win at same rate.

Games team can win can be calculated by multiplying Total games needs to be played this season with Winning Percentage.

Games team can win = \frac{61.11}{100}\times 162 = 98.99 \approx 99

Hence Graces can expect her favorite can win approximately 99 games.

Write a real-world problem that is solved by an equation and then solve (show work).
ololo11 [35]
A company is selling books. It has to pay $500 to start printing the books, and once they have done that, the books sell at $14.99 each. How many books must they sell to make a profit?

First we would model an equation. X will be the amount of books sold, and Y will be profits (in dollars obv). They had to pay $500 before they could start selling, so we must account for that too.

This equation would be y=14.99x-500 because for every book sold, X increases by 1, increasing Y by 14.99

The answer would be 34 books sold in order to turn a profit. (500/14.99=
